I have mixed feelings.

I really love the handling and have zero complaints with the car other than the sound system (which is not the HK) and lackluster navigation system (which is worse than a $150 Garmin). I also like that I was able to get an almost fully loaded X1 for a fair bit less than an almost fully loaded 3-series or X3 would have cost me. And I do think that the height is a good balance between handling and getting a better view of the road. I always very much enjoy driving this car.

The only thing giving me mixed feelings is the size. It's perfectly ok for the city but can be quite cramped when taking a family of 3 for a road trip (depending of course on how much you bring along). I do wonder on occasion whether I might have been better served by the X3. Though I realize I would have sacrificed on the great handling if I had gone that route.
